Prosecutor Bruce Langer cited Sutherland's extensive criminal history outside of Colorado and lack of ties to the state as reasons for requesting the high bond, which was granted by Boulder County Judge John Stavely.

According to investigators, Sutherland met up with four other people in Boulder on Wednesday night and invited him to their camp at Gordon Gulch.

Around 10:45 p.m., two campers, who were awakened by screaming, told investigators they found the other two campers -- a 33-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman who have not been identified by police -- yelling for help, according to sheriff's officials.

Both had been stabbed multiple times in the head and torso.

Investigators said Sutherland and the victims -- both also Boulder transients -- may have been arguing about Sutherland's dog being aggressive.

The two other campers put the victims in a truck and transported them to Nederland, where they subsequently were airlifted to Denver-area hospitals with serious injuries.

Langer said one of the victims was taken out of the intensive care unit, but that the other remained there as of Friday afternoon.

Officials said Sutherland fled the scene and caught a ride down to Boulder from someone at the campground. But Boulder police recognized Sutherland from witnesses' description and found him near Third and Pearl streets. He was arrested at 2:05 a.m. Thursday.
